Welcome to the Writing Lab, I love teaching in the writing lab. Students in here get to watch their scores go up with each revision. Everyday you come in and do the blog and write your complete sentence for your bell work. Your grades in class will be from the Blog, Study Island, and My Access, do your best and lets have a great quarter.
1. Everyone is good at something, sports, writing, texting, and even being a good friend. Today I want you to tell me what your good at.
example: I am good at wrapping presents, I can really make a simple ugly box look great.
